Nurse-led polynucleotide treatment in Hillhall

There is some discomfort, as with any injectable treatment, but the needles are very fine and the sensation is brief. Most people find it very manageable.

Pricing is listed openly on this page and is the same for all clients regardless of where they travel from. There is no separate charge for the consultation and no call-out or travel fee for Hillhall clients.

Yes, and it is one of the areas where they perform best. The under-eye skin is thin and often crepey, and polynucleotides improve quality and resilience there without adding the volume that filler would.

Usually three to four sessions spaced about two to four weeks apart. The effect is cumulative, so the course is what delivers the result. A single session on its own will not do much.

Yes. Polynucleotides sequences well with several other treatments, and Lauren will plan the order so each one has room to work rather than doing everything at once.

Minimal. Small bumps and mild redness for 24 to 48 hours. Aftercare guidance is given at the appointment, and Lauren is contactable afterwards if anything concerns you.

Yes. Every treatment includes a consultation so Lauren can assess your skin and confirm the plan is right for you. It is included in the appointment rather than charged separately.

No. They do not add volume or change your face shape. Filler sits in the skin and creates structure physically. Polynucleotides stimulate your own skin to repair and rebuild, so the change comes from your own tissue rather than from the product.

Both are biostimulators rather than fillers, but they work differently. Polynucleotides focus on cellular repair and skin regeneration. Profhilo is hyaluronic acid based and focuses on deep hydration and laxity. Lauren will recommend one over the other, or a sequence of both, depending on what your skin actually needs.

NUA runs by appointment only with flexible scheduling, including times outside standard working hours. That tends to suit clients travelling from Hillhall who would rather not take time off work.

Results typically last six to nine months. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.

Come with clean skin and no make-up if possible, avoid alcohol the night before to reduce bruising risk, and let Lauren know about any medication or supplements you take, particularly blood thinners.
